He assured the TENP of collaborative efforts to ensure they get better ICT infrastructure. Kabogo further lauded the Chief Principal Dr Charles Koech for great milestones in leading the institution.
“As a ministry, we are committed to enhancing internet connectivity across the country to support the Digital Superhighway pillar of the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda. Together, we can unlock Kenya’s full potential in the digital economy and ensure no one is left behind,” the CS said.
Kabogo said the government had no plans to switch off social media but ask Kenyans to be responsible and observe discipline when using social media to avoid infringing on other people’s privacy.
